To celebrate her 53rd birthday, FASHIONOTES is taking a look at Madge’s legendary style evolution. Nearly 30 years since the release of her first album, Madonna has become a cultural icon. Inspiring an entire generation, she always pushes the limits when it comes to fashion. From fingerless gloves to a sari, the queen of reinvention has been a trendsetter since day one.

Madonna’s style evolves effortlessly, always on point and always setting trends. She has never been afraid to push the limits and is always game for a sheer ensemble. At 53, this superstar looks better than ever! Check out our favorite Madonna looks over the years, below:

Like a Virgin
Madonna’s flirtatious edgy style starting turning heads right away, inspiring women around the world to embrace their inner rock goddesses. Considering it was the ’80s, hair bows and gold chains never looked so good. Madonna’s boundary pushing style was evident from the very beginning.

Blond Ambition
Starting the decade off with an epic tour, Madonna took the stage to infamously debut her iconic Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra. With a playful ponytail and killer military boots, this Material Girl was only beginning to push the boundaries with fashion.

Pixie PowerDuring her publicized relationship with Sean Penn, the singing superstar chopped off her locks to an effortlessly chic pixie cut. The androgynous hair style became one of the hottest hair trends of the ’90s, right next to dark eyebrows and that infamous beauty mark.

Gothic Meets Geisha
Dark hair and pale skin epitomized the superstar’s gothic phase. Towards the end of the ’90s we were introduced to a much edgier Madonna (if that’s even possible).

Earthy Madonna
Early into the 2000s, the singer took things down a notch and revealed a more relaxed looking Madge. Curly hair and bohemian braids introduced the low-key, All-American phase in Madonna’s style evolution.

Disco DivaAfter nearly 20 years in the business, Madonna decided to shock us all by throwing on a pair of fishnets and a leotard. Her ’70s-inspired workout ensembles reminded us all that even at 50, Madonna could still get physical.

Mommy MadgeAfter years of performing (and just about everything else), the musical fashion icon has toned it down and put parenthood center stage. On and off camera, this legendary artist looks her absolute best when carrying around her greatest accessories, her kids.
